MIT's John Maeda on Simplicity and Complexity

MIT Media Labs' John Maeda discusses key concepts from his recent book Laws of Simplicity at TED. Maeda is known for creating both intricate designs and simple web interfaces, such as this one which creates a simple visual from USPS data.

You'll hear about his 10 rules and 3 keys for 'simple' living, why kids choose big cookies for a snack but smaller piles of laundry to fold (ok, so maybe you don't have to be on MIT's faculty to figure this one out!) and hints at how all these trends are influencing the development of web design and tools.


D.J. Smith is Co-Founder & Senior Principal at WebDriven. A 15-plus year veteran of the Internet, he still remembers - albeit not too fondly -- how to setup a gopher site.
